Reads like they know most smuggled items are coming in from Correctional Officers but it's easier to turn a blind eye there, blame the mail, and create an expensive and bureaucratic alternative. One of those CO's was high on the job, or had a panic attack trying to stash something, and is blaming it on wild fent exposure.

Also, I don't trust the claims made by the Correction Officers' Benevolent Association, which they provided no evidence or proof of and sounded indignant when asked about it. I remember during the BLM protests in 2020 it was the Police Benevolent Association that told the press the made-up story of cops being poisoned by milkshakes at 5 Guys downtown. They can get away with feeding false stories to the press a lot easier than the NYPD can, and most readers (if they even go beyond the headline) don't seem to pick up on the difference.
